Found the internet!Zelenskyy Says Post-war Ukraine Will Emulate Israel, Won’t Be ‘Liberal, European’
Summary of Zelenskyy's proposal in the article:
He wants Ukraine to emulate the Israeli defense structure in the context of sharing borders with enemies
This would potentially include military presence in populated areas
He assures that no part of this is meant to suggest that democracy will be infringed on
He is disappointed in Israel for trying to maintain its relations with Russia

He is disappointed in Israel for trying to maintain its relations with Russia
Why is Israel playing both sides on this? The Russians couldn't possibly be paying them as much as we do. We outlawed boycotting Israel in half this country on their behalf, where's the reciprocity?
Note that he says it won’t be “absolutely” liberal or European. In other words, they’re going to be curtailing some civil liberties for security reasons. But that doesn’t mean they’re literally going to become some authoritarian warlord state, and Zelensky says as much later in the article.
Yep, but it doesn't sound like many civil liberties would be affected:
However, such measures would not serve to undercut Ukrainian democracy, he added, declaring that “an authoritarian state is impossible in Ukraine.”
“An authoritarian state would lose to Russia. People know what they are fighting for,” he said.
Zelenskyy wants Ukraine to be a liberal democracy, just one with a more robust and visible military presence to protect against Russia and Belarus in the future.
They'll be a liberal democracy, but with some curtails I'm order to ensure security against Russia and Belarus in the future. Zelensky even says that autocracy wouldn't work in Ukraine because the people need to know what their fighting for in order to have the spirit they have now to holt the Russians
Personally, I think we need to move some nuclear weapons into Ukraine for their own safety.
He's implying Israel's 'face' is the US, and that Ukraine wouldn't be anyone's client state.

In case you still aren’t aware, within the last few hours many images have been shared of absolutely horrific mass killings of civilians in Ukraine. Apparently before retreating, the Russian forces seem to have decided to execute every male aged 16-60, with many with their hands tied behind their back. Many were then dumped in mass graves, the sewers, or just left in the streets. This appears to have repeated in village after village throughout the Kyiv oblast. Personally my gut feeling is that these images have serious potential of pushing the world over the edge and potentially getting involved in this conflict. Absolutely brutal, horrific stuff.
r/Place is being resurrected by the admins. For those of you who aren't familiar, the basic idea is that Reddit provides a canvas and users can place pixels onto the canvas to form an image. Once a pixel is placed, it can be overwritten by anyone else - nothing is permanent. For some history, see this Wikipedia page.
r/Neoliberal and fellow lib-sphere subreddits including r/NonCredibleDefense, r/GlobalTribe, r/EnoughCommieSpam and r/Enough_Sanders_Spam have formed a coalition to leave our mark on r/Place this year. NCD will be joining our logo and GlobalTribe will be putting the Earth Flag just above and to the left of our image, while Enough_Sanders_Spam will be placing their logo beneath ours.
If any other lib-sphere subreddits would like to join us, please get in touch!
